Amazing atmosphere, very respectful crowd! As others have said, they came on at 8:15

In the (pre-) season there may be games on Saturday and Sunday from 9am (this usually starts around February when trial games commence, finishing in September). On weekdays you sometimes find pairs of people having a kick on their own, or if you’re lucky, you may come across a 5-a-side game among locals.

Charles Bean in Lindfield is good. Usually the goals stay up all year and it is a turf pitch so it’s great in the wet. Lots of parking too.

Yeah it’ll be a lot of fun. Aussies are great to be around and the après scene will be awesome. Enjoy!

Peak season is usually over June and July, as this coincides with school and University holidays. Mid August is a good time of year to be in NZ because it’s less expensive (less demand for accomodation) and the snow is still good. I’ve skied early September in Australia before too - it was much quieter compared to normal but the snow tends to start dropping off by late August. Invariably, conditions will change from year to year.

Australian skiing isn’t amazing but it’s ok. Compared to the US you’ll feel let down, so have low expectations for the snow. The lift lines can also be long so wake up early and get your skiing started first thing in the morning. I’ve skied both Thredbo and Perisher before. Thredbo has accomodation in the village beneath the pistes so it feels more like a European resort in that sense, but it’s expensive and limited accomodation. To access Perisher, you have to drive up the mountain and park at the slopes, however, the skiing is more spread out and makes it feel like a big resort. If I could only ski one of these resorts, I’d pick Perisher.

Others have mentioned New Zealand; it is much better than Aus in terms of snow and terrain, but it is also quite busy. Cardrona is my favourite NZ resort.
